Introduction


Playing Appreciated is a group for members that like to play games they win and for giveaway creators that like to see their games getting played. This sounds simple, yet requires committent and dedication from members by filtering out games they like to play from all group giveaways and when won playing those within one month. In return members will get higher chances of winning games they want and creators will know their giveaways have a high chance of getting played. The group has more than 1000 members and over 25000 historical giveaways.

Group rules


  • You need to set and keep your Steam privacy settings for My profile and Game details public (example);
  • You will play all giveaways you win via this group within one month;
  • When creating a giveaway it is recommended to include a small group rule reminder in your giveaway, something like: "This is a Playing Appreciated giveaway, by joining you commit to playing this game within a month when won.".

How to join


  1. Make sure you did not violate any SteamGifts rules in the last month;
  2. Comment one of the two options to enter the group in this discussion:
    • Option 1: Showing your commitment by playing a previous won game on SteamGifts that you did not yet play. The game shouldn't be very short and must have achievements. Comment with the name of the game before you start playing it and comment again when you finished playing it. Please upload some screenshots to Steam as well.
    • Option 2: Supporting the cause by creating a group giveaway of a game that you would like to see getting played by other group members within a month as soon as your membership request was approved. The game should not have been given away free before (marked by ** when creating a giveaway on SteamGifts).
  3. Press "Request To Join" on our group page;
  4. Wait for us to approve your request, we'll always reply on the comment you have made in this topic.

Final notes


More information and a FAQ is available via the Steam group. Current group giveaways can be found here on SteamGifts. Feel free to comment below if you have any questions!

Hi ProKiller66, your profile went to private while one of the group rules it that you need to have a public profile. Please change it back to public at your earliest convenience if you like to remain part of the group. Please understand that this is needed in order to check if you are playing the games that you won in this group.

I dont have a problem to do my profile public but this guy who did told you my profile is private did me blacklist for nothing and thats the reson i dont want to do public for now. This guy need to say sorry and delete me of his blacklist.

I'm sorry to hear you got blacklisted, but it was not by me and I'm the one who found out that your profile was private via our group page. Besides, getting blacklisted by someone is no reason to ignore our group rules, so please change your profile back to public unless you want to leave the group.

Good to hear you switched it back to public. You can try to contact those members yourself if you want to find out the reason, but as group moderator I'm not going to interfere with that, I hope you understand. We are a large group of 500+ members, so I'd suggest to look at the bright side and don't worry that much about a few blacklists. ;)

Please take a look at the GA I linked below and consider if we really want member like this.

You could also argue that he is just very eager to start playing but just a bit impatient. Either way, there are no group rules regarding how members should behave against each other in addition to the already existing steamgifts rules. I'd like to keep it that way - members can settle their own problems individual. I'll not comment on this further.

There's plenty of reason to blacklist you so stop bitching and learn some fucking manners you entitled, rude little fuck.

Hello I'd like to join in on this. I've been only entering for games I'd play within a month for quite some time now anyway, and it's always nice when a winner of my GA plays the game so that's nice too.

I am sure that I have [NOT] been noticed by anyone for this thing XD, I speak in a wrong way, but it is still my fault. :( and I have trouble to understand that rule said if winner thank to giveaway donator, that means I should have written down some words on the giveaway when i won the game?

I understood, normally we do like to send out a reminder one week in advance, but only if the winner thanked the giveaway creator. Otherwise indeed it is your responsibility to do so. ;)

Just to clarify this point - it's one reminder per user, for the first game they're about to miss, and only if they thanked the giveaway creator (this is the comment we post the reminder as a reply to). After this, no more reminders. You're on your own :-)
